I, too, work over night and after I did that post, I was curious to what they show after 2 AM; maybe I will check tonight.
As it is, when I come in on shift, I switch it over to the Spanish channels. The TV's have to be on, that's part of the requirement of the shift, but I think one of the reasons why I get away with the Spanish channels is because the school is heading, if not already there, international status.
In the morning, it's on Un Nuevo Dia which is more of a morning show but it has some news and then I usually switch over to Primero Noticias which is mostly news......and mostly news in the old fashion sense.
ALTHOUGH, like everyone else, even those can get fixated on an event, such as the Pope.
The boss is an interesting man, very sensitive to what is shown on TV because it's in a room where passerbys outside can see what's on TV (rather, I think, the reason why there are TV's here in the first place). So around 7 AM I switch from Nuevo Dia to Primero because as a morning show, they may be swimsuit fashions, belly dancers, or, as in a few months ago, the progression of one of the hostess's pregnancy.
Interestingly enough, I use to use Morning Express on HLN as the neutral channel for the boss, he's a solid FOX News man. Two days ago, however, he told me he hated HLN and turn to something else.......and he was the one who "introduced" me to Robin Meade in the first place! So this morning, I put it on ESPN.....alas, another talking head channel.
Got to rush off.
